Amnesty, Jobs

April 26, 1988|By Clarence Hammock.

PARK FOREST — Is there no end to these congressmen`s generosity at the expense of our welfare? I refer to Senators Paul Simon and Alan Dixon`s support for Sen. Edward Kennedy`s bill to extend the application deadline for legalization one year to May 4, 1989, and to back a family unification bill that would extend legalization to otherwise unqualified spouses and children of eligible legalization applicants.

It appears to me the major problem we face in this country is too many unemployed poor people with no skills struggling for a shrinking number of manufacturing jobs that are going to other countries.

These are the same politicians who rant and rave about the level of unemployment and poverty of our nation. What do they think, these people bring jobs with them?

I would venture to say that when the total number of legalized aliens as a result of this is revealed, it will total up to a significant amount of the unemployment we have so much suffered with.
